[Recurrent polychondritis associated with ulcerative colitis].
Relapsing polychondritis and Ulcerative Colitis is an uncommon association that has been described only ten times in medical literature. We report a new case of this association in which it was necessary to treat with azathriopine to stop disease progression. Relapsing Polichondritis is a disorder to be considered in patients with Ulcerative Colitis and inflammation of the cartilagenous structures.
